Google new Mobile Phones Software Google has added Walking Navigation in a sense of walking direction by turn by turn with the GPS navigation system and satellite imagery, to the newest version of Google Maps for Andriod.
The Newest addition of Google Maps for mobiles 4.5 comes for Andriod. It takes walking directions, which takes advantage of pedestrian pathways, overpasses and other such things, and pairs them with turn-by-turn GPS directions and satellite imagery.
You wont to go at yours need address by google andriod so simply enter the addreess where ever you wont to go then chose the following options,
- Chose the Walking option from the Navigation icon.
- The App guide option will guide you.
- A long and vibrating when you reach the next turn. The map even rotates as you turn the phone, orienting the map to the direction you’re facing. As Google engineers Andrey Ulanov and Kevin Law note in their blog post, you can “use it like a virtual compass with satellite imagery to look ahead or help pick out landmarks along the way.”
In the satellite view doesn’t offer enough in the way of contextual clues, the new and improved Street View navigation for Google Maps on Android. The feature brings Street View straight to your phone and adds “smart navigation”, where in you can simply drag the “Pegman” around to move your vantage point.
We often joke with friends about how the smartphone is like the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but it’s features like this that make that notion more and more a reality. It wasn’t long ago that GPS navigation in a car seemed like a modern day luxury, and now we have access to turn-by-turn directions and imagery in our pockets. The integration with satellite imagery is just a step away from Street View integration and we can’t imagine that an augmented reality addition is far off. While we often feel silly holding our phones up to the horizon to look for the nearest pizza joint, having this data on-screen as we navigate about our lives may prove even more handy.
